But it concerneth the true Christians who though they fight manfully agaynst the fleshe the worlde and the diuill doe notwithstanding fall darly and are constreyned to say Lord forgiue vs our offeÌ„ces Theis are they to whom we speake to comfort them and to hold them vp that they fall not into despayre as though the blud of christ washed vs not from all sin and that he were not our aduocate and the attonementmaker for his members And therfore when we be prouoked to dowt of the forgiuenesse of our sinnes that our own conscience beginneth to trubble vs Then must we furnish our selues with trew fayth and out of hand haue recourse to y preciowse blud of Iesus Christ shed for vs vppon the alter of the Crosse and distributed to his Apostles at his last supper vnder the veyle of a most holie Sacrament which was ordeyned by Christ to the end y we should celebrate the remembrance of his death that by the same visible Sacrament our trubbled consciences myght be assured of our attonement with god The blissed Iesus christ made his last wil when he said This is my bodie which is giuen for yow and this is my blud of the new Testament which is shed for manie to the forgiuenes of their sinnes We knowe that a Testament sayeth Sainct Paule although it be but a mans Testament yet neuertheles if it be allowed no man despyzeth it or addeth anie thing to it and that no testament is of force till the testator be dead but hathe full poure after the parties decease Then did Iesus Christ make his Testament wherin he promisethe forgiuenesse of sinnes and the grace and good fauour of himselfe and his father togither with mercie and euerlasting lyfe And to the intent that the sayd Testamente should be of full force he hathe confirmed it with his owne preciowse blud and with his owne death By reason wherof sainct Paule sayeth that Iesus Christe is the mediator of the new TestameÌ„t that by his dying for the redemption of those transgressions which were in the former testament they that are called might receyue the promis of the eternall inheritance For whersoeuer is a Testament there must also be the death of the Testator for the Testament is confirmed by the deathe of the partie insomuch as it is of no valu so long as the maker of it is aliue Wherfore we be verye certein and assured by the death of Iesus Christ that his Testament is auaylable wherby all our misdÃ©eds are pardoned and we made heyres of eternall life And for a token and faythful pledge hereof in sted of a Seale he hathe left vs this diuine Sacrament which not onely giueth our sowles assured hope of their euerlasting Saluation but also warrantâ—th vnto vs the immortalitie of our flesh forasmuch as it is euen now quickned by that immortall flesh of his and in a certein maner becoÌ„meth parttaker of the immortalitie therof and he that is parttaker of that diuine flesh by faith shall not perish for euer But vnto him that receyueth it withowt the sayd fayth it turneth to a daungerouse poyson becawse that like as when bodily sustenance fyndeth the stomacke incumbred with euill humors it corrupteth likewyse and woorketh greate anoyance euen so if this spirituall fÃ©ede lyght into a sinfull sowle that is full of malice and misbelef it casteth it headlong into some greater ruine not through it owne default but bycause that to the vncleane and vnbeleuer al things are vncleane notwithstanding that the things be sanctified by the Lordes blissing For as sayeth Sainct Paule he that eateth of that bread and drinketh of that cup vnworthely is giltie of the bodie and blud of the Lord and he eateth and drinketh his owne damnation bycause he maketh no difference of the Lordes bodie For he maketh no difference of the Lords bodie which presumeth to the Lords supper without fayth charitie And forasmuch as he beleueth not that bodie to be his lyfe and the clenzer of al his sinnes he maketh Iesus Christe a lyer and treadeth the sonne of God vnder foote estemeth the blud of the Testament wherby he was faÌ„ctified but as a comon or worldly thing doeth greate wrong to the spirit of grace and he shal be punished verye sore at Gods hand for this his vnbÃ©elef and wicked hipocrisie For wheras he reposeth not y trust of his iustificatioÌ„ in the passioÌ„ of our lord sauiour Iesus christ yit neuerthelesse he receyueth this moste holie Sacrament maketh protestation that he putteth not his trust in anie other thing Wherby he accuseth himself and is a witnesse of his owne iniquitie and condemneth himself to euerlasting death by refuzing the lyfe which god promiseth him in that holie SacrameÌ„t And in this poynt when the Christian fÃ©eleth that his enemies are lyke to ouercome him the is to wit when he beginneth to dout whether he haue receiued forgiuenes of his sinns by Iesus Christ that he shal not be able to withstand the diuel and his teÌ„ptatioÌ„s that the accusation of his owne dowtfull conscience comes to presse him so as he beginneth to feare least helfyre shold swallow him vp and death hold him in his euerlasting bands by reason of Gods wrath I saye when the good christian fÃ©eleth himself in such agonie Let him get him to this holie Sacrament with a good hart and stowt courage and receiue it deuoutly saying in his hart and answering his enemies thus I coÌ„fesse I haue deserued a thousand hells euerlasting death by reason of the great sinnes which I haue committed But this heauenly sacrament which I receyue at this present assureth me of the forguiuenes of all my misdoings of myne attonement with god For if I haue an eye to my works ther is no dowt but I acknowledge my self a sinner and condemne myne owne selfe in suche wise as my conscience should neuer be quiet if I should think that my sinnes are pardoned me for my workes sake But when I looke to the promises and couenantes of God who promiseth me forgiuenes of my sinnes by the blud of Iesus Christ I am as sure that I haue obteyned it and that I haue his fauour as I am sure that he which hath made the promises and couenants cannot lye nor deceiue and through this stedfast fayth I become ryghtuouse by Christes rightuousenes wher through I am saued and my conscience quieted Hath he not giuen his most innocent bodie into the handes of sinners for our sinnes Hath he not shed his blud to wash away my iniquities Why theÌ„ doost thou vex thy self O my soule put thy trust in the Lord who beareth thÃ©e so great loue that to deliuer thÃ©e from eternal death it hath pleased him that his only sonne should suffer death and passion who hath taken vppon himselfe our pouertie to giue vs his riches layd our weakenesse vppon himself to stablish vs in

that the iustification by fayth was sufficient of it selfe but went about stil to be made rightuous by the law Unto whom S. Paule saieth Iesus Christe shall nothing profyt you that iustifie your selues by the Lawe for you be falne from grace bicause that we thorough the spirit of fayth wayte for the hope of rightuousnesse Now if the sÃ©eking of rightuousnesse forgiuenes of sinnes by the kÃ©eping of the lawe which God gaue vppon mount Sinai with so great glorie and maiestie be the denying of Christ and of his grace what shal we say to those that will nÃ©edes iustifie themselues afore God by their owne lawes and obseruaÌ„ces I would wish that such folkes should a little compare the one with the other and afterward giue iudgment themselues God myndeth not to doe that honour nor to giue that glorie to his owne lawe and yit they will haue him to giue it to mennes lawes ordinances But that honour is giuen onely to his onely begotten sonne who alone by y sacrifice of his death and passion hath made full amends for all our sinnes past present and to come as sainct Paule and sainct Iohn declare Wherfore as ofteÌ„ as we apply this satisfactioÌ„ of Iesus Christs vnto our soules by fayth out of all dout we obteyne forgiuenes of our sinnes and become good rightuouse before God through his ryghtuousnes And therefore after that sainct Paule hathe said that as touching the ryghtuousenes of y lawe he had liued vnblameable he addeth yit whatsoeuer I haue gayned by it I haue accounted it in al respects to be but losse for the loue of christ And specially I esteme al things to be losse for the excelleÌ„t knowledge of Iesus Christ my Lord for whome I haue counted all thinges to be losse dÃ©eme them but as dung so I may win Christ bÃ©e fouÌ„d in him not hauing myne owne rightuousenesse which is of the lawe but the righteousnesse which is by the fayth of Iesus Christ which rightuousnes is giuen of god I mene the rightuousnes of faith that I may come to the knowledge of Iesus Christ. O most notable wordes which all Christians ought to haue ingrauen in their hartes praying God to make them to tast it perfectly Lo how S. Paule sheweth plainly that whosoeuer knoweth Christ aright estÃ©emeth all the works of the law to bÃ©e hurtful for so much as they make vs to swarue from our trust in Iesus Christ to whom euery man ought to impute his saluation to trust only vnto him alone And to inforce this sentence the more he addeth further that he estÃ©emeth all things but as dung so he may gayne Christ and be fouÌ„d incorporated in him declaring thereby that whosoeuer trusteth in his own workes and pretendeth to iustifie him selfe by them getteth not Iesus Christ nother is ingreffed into him â–ª And forasmuch as the whole mistery of our faith consisteth in the truth hereof â—o the end we might the better vnderstand what he ment to say he addeth and repeteth oftentimes y he had nothing to doo with al the outward iustification al the rightuousnes that is grouÌ„ded vppon the keping of the law but that he wold cloth him selfe with y rightuousnes which God giueth by faith to al theÌ„ y beleue that all our sinnes are fully chastized punished in Iesus Christ that Iesus Christ as S. Paule saieth is made our wisdome rightuousnes holines redemption to the end as it is written y he which will glorie should glorie in the lord not in his own workes Uery true it is that in the holy scriptures ther are some texts to be found which being misvnderstode sÃ©eme to gaynsay this holy doctrine of S. Paules to attribute iustification remission of sinnes vnto works to charitie But those authorities haue alredy bin wel expounded by somme who haue shewed playnly y such as haue vnderstode theÌ„ in the sence aforesaid vnderstode them not aright Wherfore my dÃ©erebeloued brethren let vs not folow the fond opinion of y bewitched GalathiaÌ„s but rather let vs folow y truth which s. Paul teacheth vs let vs giue the whol glorie of our iustification vnto Gods mercy to y merits of his sonne who by his own bludshed hath set vs frÃ©e froÌ„ y souereintie of the law from y tyrannie of sin death hath brought vs into y kingdom of god to giue vs life and endlesse felicitie I say yet further y he hath deliuered vs from y dominion of the lawe insomuch as he hath giuen vs his holy spirit who teacheth vs all truth and that he hath satisfied the lawe to the full giuen the same satisfaction vnto al his members that is to wit to all true Christians so as they may safely appÃ©ere at Gods throne bicause they be clothed with the rightuousnesse of hys Christ and by him deliuered from the curse of the lawe Then cannot y lawe any more accuse vs or condemne vs nor moue our affections or appetites nor increase sin in vs And therefore Sainct Paule saieth that the Obligacion which was against vs is cancelled by Iesus Christ discharged vppon the trÃ©e of the crosse insomuch as he hath set vs frâ—e from the subiection of the lawe and coÌ„sequently from the tyrannie of sin death which can no more hereafter hold vs oppressed bicause it is ouercome by Iesus christ in his resurrectioÌ„ so coÌ„sequently by vs which are his members in such maner y wÃ©e may say with Saincte Paule and with the Prophet Osee Death is quytâ— vanquished destroyed O Death wher is thy ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ O Hel wher is thy victorie The sting of Death is â—in and the strength of sin is the lawe But God bÃ©e praysed who hath graunted vs vicâ—orie by our Lord Iesus Christ. He is the blesâ—ed sÃ©ede that hathe crusshed the head of y veâ—emous Serpent that is to wit of the Diuell insomuch that all those which belÃ©eue in Ieâ—us Christ reposing their whole trust in his grace doo ouercome sin death the Diuel and Hell as Christ hath done HÃ©e is that blessed sÃ©ede of Abraham in the which god hath promised blissednesse to all NacioÌ„s It behoued euery particuler person to fight with the sayd horrible Serpent and too deliuer hym selfe from that curse But that enterprise was so great that all the force of the whole world knitte together was not able too go through with it Wherfore our God y father of mercie being moued with compassion of our miseries hath giueÌ„ vs his only begotteÌ„ sonne who hath deliuered vs from y veniâ— of the Serpent is him selfe become our blissednesse rightuousnes condicionally y we accept the same renouÌ„cing al our own otward iustifications Then my dÃ©ere brÃ©ethren let vs imbrace the rightuousnesse of our Lorde Iesus Christ and lette vs make it ours by means of fayth let vs assure our selues that we bÃ©e rightuouse not for our

owne works but through the merites of Iesus Christ let vs liue merily assured that the rightuousnes of Iesus Christe hath vtterly done away all our vnrightuosnes made vs good rightuouse and holie before God who beholding vs ingreffed into his sonne by fayth estÃ©emeth vs not now any more as the childreÌ„ of Adam but as his owne children and hath made vs heirs of al his riches with his own begotten sonne The fourth Chapter Â¶ Of the effectes of liuely faith and of the vnion of mans Soule with Iesus Christ. THis holie faith worketh after such a sort in vs y he which beleueth y Iesus Christ hath taken all his sins vppon him becoÌ„meth like vnto Christ ouercoÌ„meth sin the diuel death Hell. And the reason thereof is this namely that the church that is to wit euery faithfull Sowle is Christes wyfe Christ is hir husband For we know how the lawe of mariage is that of two they become one selfesame thing being two in one flesh and that the goods substance of either of them become comon to theÌ„ both by means wherof the husband saieth that the dowrie of his wyfe is his likewise the wyfe sayeth that hir husbands house all his riches are hirs and of a truth so they are for otherwise they should not be one flesh as the scripture saith After the same maner hath God maryed his onlibegotteÌ„ dÃ©erbeloued sonne to the faythful soule which hath not any other thing peculiar of hir own saue only sin yit the soÌ„ne of God hath not disdeyned to take hir for his welbeloued spowse togither with hir peculiar dowrie which is sin And now by reason of y vnion which is in this holie mariage looke what y on hath is also y others Iesus christ therefore saieth thus The dowrie of mans soule my dÃ©ere wife that is to wit hir sins and transgressings of the lawe Gods wrath ageinst hir the boldnes of the diuill ouer hir the prison of Hell and all other hir euils are become myne are in my power to do what I list with theÌ„ Wherfore it is at my choyse to deale with them at my pleasure and therfore I will put out the hand writing which is agaynst the soule â—y wyfe I will take it oute of the waye I wyll fasten it too my crosse in myne owne bodie and in the same wyll I spoile principalities and powers and make a shew of theÌ„ openlye triumphe ouer them and consume theÌ„ vtterly vnto nothing Now when GOD sawe his sonne who knewe no â—nne neither had any sin in him thus wyllingly taking on him the fowlenes of our iniquitie he made him to be sinne for vs euen the very sacrifice for our sinne did sharply punish our sinne in him putting him to death euen the death of the crosse Howbeit forasmuch as hÃ©e was his welbeloued obedient sonne hÃ©e would not leaue him in death nor suffer his holy one to sÃ©e corruption but raysed him vp from death to lyfe giuing him al power in heauen and earth and set him at his ryght haÌ„d in glory Now then the wyfe likewise with exceding great ioye doth saye the Realmes and Kingedomes of my most dÃ©ere husband and sauiour are mine by him I am an heire of heauen my husbands riches that is to wit his holines his innocencie his rightuousenes his godhead togither with al his vertue myght are mine and for me and therfore in him I am holie innocent ryghtuouse and godly ther is not any spot in mÃ©e I am well fauored fayre inasmuch as my lawful husband hath not any blemishe in him but is altogither goodly and fayre And sith that he is wholly myne and so consequently all that he hath is myne and all that he hath is pure and holie it foloweth that I also am pure and holie Therfore to begin at his most innoceÌ„t birthâ— he hath thereby sanctifyed the birthe of his spouse conceiued in sinne The godly chyldhod and youth of the brydegroome hath iustified the childish and youthful lyfe of his dÃ©erbeloued bryde For the loue and vnion that is betwixt the sowle of a trew christian and the bridegroome Iesus Christ maketh al the woorks of eyther of them to be comon to theÌ„ bothe By reason wherof when a man saith Iesus Christ hath fasted Iesus Christ hath prayed Iesus Christ was herd of the father raysed the dead draue diuells out of men healed the sicke dyed rose again and ascended into heauen Likewise a man may say that a Christen man hath done all the selfe-same woorkes forasmuch as the workes of Christ are the workes of the Christian bycause he hath doone them for hym Uerely a man may say y the Christian hath bin nayled too the crosse buried raysed again is gone vp into heauen become the child of God and made partaker of the Godhead On the other side all the workes y a Christian man doeth are Christes workes bycause it is his will to take them for his And forasmuch as they be vnperfect and he throughly perfect cannot away with any vnperfect thing he hath made them perfect with his vertues to the end that his wife should be alwaies ioyful well coÌ„tentid and not be afraid of any thing assuring hirself that although ther be yit stil some default in hir workes yitnotwithstanding they be acceptable to God in respect of his sonne vppoÌ„ whoÌ„ he hath his eyes alwais fastened O y vnmeasurable goodnes of god how greatly is the christiaÌ„ bound vnto god Ther is no loue of man be it neuer so great that may be compared with y loue that god beareth to the sowle of euery faythfull christian wherof Christ is y bridgrome Whervppon s.
